Travelers may arrive Saturday night (August 4) to take advantage of reduced travel rates that incorporate a Saturday night stay in their itinerary. The Gordon Research Conference in Organometallic Chemistry is scheduled the week of July 22-27; those who will attend that conference can organize a three week 'holiday' for themselves in the New England area.

There are maps and directions provided for the areas in and around the conference. You may also want to consider some sights in and around Cambridge and Boston during your trip.

The weather in Boston is likely to be warm (85-95F) and sometimes humid, although cooler days are not uncommon even in early August. Significant rain is unlikely, although weather in Boston any time is unpredictable. We suggest that you bring at least a portable umbrella.
